WipEout HD

u mad (and PS3less)

i will buy this

want want want want

need ps3 and hdtv first ;_;

and job, to enable funds for purchase :(((

Some of the later time missions are solid! Got a bit frustrated at times with only seconds from getting the bronzes.

And check out the song which seems to be a cover of Tuff Little Units' "Join the Future"

It's seems like it's a better game than I thought it would be, and I thought it was going to be really good. So far, I'm damn amazed. Maybe the best looking game I've ever seen.

I did one race and I am already in love.

*seethes with envy*

I just realised we're now playing Wipeout with better graphics than from the original Wipeout fmv that everyone creamed over at the beginning of the first game.

Custom soundtracks! Set that up last night and it really adds a lot. First time I've ever even bothered using the feature.

Also I tried out a couple of online races and no lag that I noticed, very smooth, even though I seemed to be racing people over 6,000 miles away. Obviously a small sample size though, but I was impressed. There did seem to one bug, as it kept repeating driver eliminated throughout one of the races, more times than there were drivers in the race?

Game gets really hard at the higher speeds. I guess you can't just hold down the gas when you're flying around the track like that, but gotta ease up around the corners too. Air brakes don't seem to be enough. Or maybe I just have to memorize the tracks better?

Hi guys I'm Antexit on psn exclusively for this game. Could we have big ILG race plz?

JUST ONE MORE GAME JUST ONE MORE GAME

That snow climb level is frustrating, what's the key to taking those really tight corners without stopping your ship to a dead stop?

love ubermall though.

i like how the nice lady says the name of your team when you select your vehicle

takes so long to d/l wtf

s1ocki i would like to race with you, are we PSN friends?

i'm krangor, who are you??

what's with the stingy loyalty points distribution. How many sodding points do I need to just get one more skin?

guys this game is aweeeoeiwoeiwososome

SO JEALOUS

nb does it have zone mode?

yes it does

Zone Mode is gorgeous.

I don't get the zone mode - what exactly is it?

Just go for as long as you can without disintegrating. The longer you last, the better the medal.

but what are these different sections that are announced?

oh yeah, I wondered that as well!

the different speeds, cuz it's speeding up

custom soundtracking this game is the BESTEST.

so far, favourite = giorgio moroder, "the chase"

guys I love this game v v v much and my wife thinks it's the coolest thing she's seen in a long while

zone mode is odd, you don't press the accelerate it just goes at a set speed. the longer you go the faster it gets. the voice announces when you move up a level. the later ones are ridiculously impossible!

but the ship on zone mode looks amazing, as do the textureless levels

it is good, but I'm so close to thrashing my ps3 against a wall sometimes trying to get medals.

This will be the thing that tips me toward spending whatever Christmas cash I get on a PS3. I didn't want to do it, but Wipeout is about the only game I've ever played like a madman for years on end.

i really suck at this - any tips for a newbie?

it's all about choosing the right ship for the track, good handling for the tracks with sharp corners. Also, u&k learning to use the L and R triggers for turning I think.

I'm shit at the combat part

is there a diff between using L2/R2 and the joystick to turn?

yes, l2/r2 is a much sharper turn, it is croosh to master those

so jealous!!!!

and i think pressing l2/r2 together is fast break, but not on zone mode. is that right?

no - it's double tapping either of those keys

xxxp - aha - i've only been using l2/r2 since I started playing. Maybe I shd try the stick

that's what she said

it is good, but I'm so close to thrashing my ps3 against a wall sometimes trying to get medals.

I nearly did this a lot with the predecessors - it was always 50% argh I fucked up and 50% that was so cheap (after fighting my way back from fucking up).

oh man, claiming 1st place in the nick of time is so satisfying - especially if it's by obliterating your opponent with a random missile you fired accidentally because you pressed fire instead of accellerate in the sweaty last seconds of the last lap and you didn't even know you'd picked up missiles anyway.

hahaha Ste otm

I'm no expert, but here's my take on the controls for those above who were a little confused. Whenever possible you want to turn just using the d-pad (or stick if that's your preference). When you need to make a sharper turn, use the air-brakes (L2/R2). The reason you don't want to use the air brakes unless you absolutely need to, is because they slow down your ship a lot. Choosing the right ship to fit your style is somewhat important, but the differences between each ship seems pretty minor. If you're crashing into walls a lot and having trouble on the turns, pick a ship with better handling, if you're feeling too slow, pick a ship with better speed/thrust (I don't understand the difference between speed and thrust in these games though - anybody care to explain). In this version, it seems to me that finding the right racing lines is really important for making a good time - that means memorizing the tracks and knowing what's coming up and basically using the rules of good race cornering (sorry, I don't have time to explain that here). Finding the right places on the track to use boost (if you got it), and also doing the barrel rolls whenever you can (if you have enough shields) as those extra boosts can help a lot too - if you don't know how to do this, you just tap left, right, left or right, left, right on the d-pad whenever you catch some air.

for some dumb reason i use stick to steer but d-pad to roll

uh - disregard what I wrote above about the airbrakes, as I was just reading the in-game manual and it claimed the airbrakes don't slow you down.

Regarding offensive weapons: when playing against the computer, they're pretty much a useless waste of time. It's better to just absorb 'em. The only worthwhile-pick ups are speed boost and autopilot.

speed = top speed
thrust = acceleration

(i guess)

Beginning to think on some of these races that "Elite" difficulty = "Lose no matter what" - I finish a race 3rd in 2.28 with the winner on 2.23, then I eventually get down to 2.22 and the winner finishes in 2.19 then a million races later I get to 2.19 and the winner is on 2.14 wtf - oh and last place is 2.22 - faster than the winner in the first race.

I think I'm about doe with this, it looks and plays so well but they're just taking the piss with the AI.

doe = done

ZONE ZEUS, BITCHES

can't be done tbh

yay

I bought Wipeout Omega and played through the first few bits of Pulse (as well as a race in 2048)

holy shit, y'all

this GAME

I keep thinking these pandemic/vaccine words sound like WipeOut vehicles

Pfizer
BioNTech
SARS-Cov2
Astra Zeneca
Novavax
Moderna
Covid-19
Sinovac

lol

Zone Mode and time trials are so amazing when you get in the groove with the right music. Might see if I can still play this.

i will admit that i had the Astra Zeneca sponsored W1p30ut car thought

haha i love this

Weird that this thread didn't get a revive when the PSVR version came out, it's INCREDIBLE.

literally the worst thing about this pandemic is not being able to go round yours to play it.
